TAUNGURUNG CLANS ABORIGINAL CORPORATION

LANGUAGE

We’re passing Taungurung culture on to the next generation. Elders assist with the instruction of younger generations in culture, history, and language and furthering of their knowledge and appreciation of their heritage as the rightful custodians of the Taungurung lands in Central Victoria.

LANGUAGE LOGO

Our culture is vibrant, complex and important.
We are a part of the Kulin Nation: an alliance of five language groups in central Victoria. We share common dreamtime ancestors and creation stories, religious beliefs and economic and social relationships.

"If we look after the Country – the Country will look after us, but we have to remember where we have come from and the journey our old people have already made." Quoted by The late Taungurung Elder Uncle Brian Patterson.
